A Maximum Coverage Based Algorithm refers to a computational method used to determine the optimal placement of multi-channel distributed fiber optic sensors within a mesh optical fiber cable network. The primary goal of this algorithm is to ensure that the sensors are positioned in such a way that the largest possible area of the network is monitored, maximizing the detection and coverage of potential issues.
We develop a heuristic solution to effectively optimize the placement of multi-channel distributed fiber optic sensors in mesh optical fiber cable networks. The solution has beenimplemented in a field network to provide continuous monitoring.
